Sleater‐Kinney

In October 1999, during their rise in the riot grrrl and indie rock scenes, Sleater-Kinney was celebrating the release of their album 'The Hot Rock,' which had come out earlier that year. This album was pivotal, showcasing their unique sound—blistering guitar riffs paired with potent, socially conscious lyrics. The live recording of 'Factors Unknown' captures the raw energy and intensity they became known for, often lighting up venues like the Glass Factory in Portland. Just imagine the electric atmosphere that night! Their performances were not just concerts; they were powerful expressions of feminist ideals and rebellion. This was a time when they were solidifying their identity in the music world, with each lyric resonating the sentiments of a generation ready for change.
